OW2con'14 - Managing risks in OSS adoption: the RISCOSS approachOW2
This presentation will report on the progresses of the RISCOSS methods and software. Supported by the FP7 program, RISCOSS develops a risk management-based methodology to facilitate the adoption of open source code into mainstream products and services. RISCOSS develops a method and a software platform that integrate the whole decision-making chain, from technology criteria to strategic concerns. Using advanced software engineering techniques and risk management methodologies, RISCOSS develops innovative tools and methods to identify, manage and mitigate risks of integrating third-party open source software. RISCOSS not only enables users to collect informed intelligence on open source components, but goes one step further by offering risk analysies that adapts to individual business situations. RISCOSS delivers a complete solution rather than a piecemeal approach to enable mainstream product developers to safely integrate open source software in their developments. Itself an open source project, RISCOSS is open to thirdparty contributions to help the platform grow in functionalities and make the transition to a fully marketable product or service.

20090327 Software Engineering -- What's in it for me?Arian Zwegers
Presentation about the opportunities for funding in Software and Services, esp in the FP7 ICT Work Programme, ITEA2, and Artemis, for the CSMR conference, Kaiserslautern (Germany), 27 March 2009
The current presentation presents the approach followed for the derivation of the Use Cases developed in the context of ÆGIS Integrating Project (Grant Agreement: 224348) of the 7th Framework Programme, which constitute the core outputs of the user needs phase of the project, together with the Personas and the conceptual models, setting the basis for the upcoming development and evaluation phases of the project. ÆGIS aims to embed support for accessibility through the development of an Open Accessibility Framework (OAF), upon which, open source accessibility interfaces and applications for the users as well as accessibility toolkits for the developers will be built. Within ÆGIS, three mainstream markets are targeted, namely the desktop, rich Internet applications and mobile devices/applications market segments. The Use Cases developed address all three application areas, targeted by ÆGIS. The User Centred Design (UCD) plan defined from the early beginning of the initiative constituted the cornerstone of the work for the Use Cases, Personas and conceptual models. Following this plan, the project Use Cases have built on the outcomes of the field trials and the workshops (national and Pan-European), where a representative sample of all ÆGIS targeted user groups has participated and the valuable expertise of the ÆGIS Consortium members. Following a concrete development methodology, 36 Use Cases (12 for desktop, 15 for mobile and 9 for rich Internet applications), accompanied by Unified Modeling Language (UML) diagrams, 17 Personas covering all major target groups of the project and 13 conceptual models, which are mapped to the Use Cases, have emerged. The Use Cases will be further elaborated to specific application scenarios that will orient the evaluation to take place in ÆGIS in three iterative phases and across 4 Pilot sites (Belgium, Spain, Sweden and in the UK). The Use Cases are seen as working document, which may be subject to updates and revisions throughout the project, following and keeping up with the progress noticed in ÆGIS project and the overall open source accessibility community.

OW2 Association Européenne aux racines grenobloises, transformer l'industrie ...OW2
Connaissez-vous OW2 ? Aventure commencée en 1999 à Grenoble sur la base d'un consortium industriel dédié au middleware open source, devenu association sans but lucratif d'échelle européenne en 2006 sous le nom d'OW2, nous agissons pour la diffusion du libre dans le monde professionnel depuis plus de 20 ans.
OW2 compte des adhérents de toute taille : 2.600 individuels en adhésion gratuite, et 30 institutionnels, de la TPE unipersonnelle à Orange, Microsoft ou Huawei, de l'Inria ou le Fraunhofer Fokus à la Gendarmerie Nationale ou la ville de Paris.
Nos projets sont plus célèbres que nous : ASM, Centreon, Lutece, PrestaShop, Sympa ou Rocket.Chat vous diront peut-être quelque chose ?
Philosophiquement, OW2 se trouve quelque part entre Eclipse et Apache : culture technique, infrastructure d'hébergement et d'assistance pour les projets, sur la ligne de crête entre l'esprit du libre et les contraintes du business, nous sommes un acteur de l'économie sociale, persuadé que l'open source est central dans une transformation sociétale nécessaire qui ne pourra se faire sans l'adhésion du monde industriel et académique.
A un tournant de notre histoire, nous investissons le créneau de la qualité industrielle des projets avec notre méthodologie "Market readiness Levels", et la gouvernance de l'open-source comme membre fondateur de l'OSPO Alliance (ospo.zone) et éditeur du guide méthodologique "OSS Good Governance handbook".
Ne nous y trompons pas : OW2 est un acteur éminemment politique, porteur d'une vision fondée sur la transformation du monde professionnel et de ses valeurs par le code et la coopération. Et cette présentation, avec un survol de notre histoire, adhérents, initiatives et projets, est également l'occasion d'en débattre.
This presentation by Cedric Thomas (OW2 CEO) details three OW2 initiatives to engage with mainstream open source software users, including the H2020 ReachOut project, Market Readiness and Good Governance.
Towards a sustainable solution to open source sustainability, OW2online20, Ju...OW2
A few years ago, Heartbleed epitomized a massive open source sustainability problem for critical parts of the internet infrastructure. The bug, which affected the popular OpenSSL cryptographic software library, notably compromised the confidentiality of 4.5 million US patient records and cost the industry an estimated $500M. It was soon revealed that the root cause of the issue was that OpenSSL was precariously understaffed. Open source sustainability became a major theme overnight. Stories of maintainer burn-out made the headlines. And tentative solutions started to emerge, most of them donation-based. In this talk we’ll explore a number of existing strategies to fund open source and make it more sustainable, from patronage to dedicated ad networks. And we’ll defend the idea that the best path to open source sustainability is to help companies understand the tangible business value they can get from contributing to open source.

Open Source governance and the Eclipse Foundation, OW2online, June 2020OW2
Presentation by Gael Blondelle, Managing Director at Eclipse Foundation.
Abstract:
In this talk, we will cover two complementary topics: The different Eclipse projects related to Open Source governance, like Eclipse SW360, SW360 Antenna, and Eclipse Steady, as well as the opportunity to leverage SW360 as the core of a larger Open Source governance initiative.
The Eclipse IP Process that has been applied to hundreds of Eclipse projects for more than 15 years and is going through a modernization process that involves both simplification from the developer point of view, and openness to new source of trusted data like Clearly Defined.
Open source contribution policies, OW2online, June 2020OW2
Open source contribution policies are long, boring, overlooked documents, that generally suck. They're designed to protect the company at all costs. But in the process, end up hurting engineering productivity, and morale. Sometimes they even unknowingly put corporate IP at risk.
But that's not inevitable.
It's possible to write open source contribution policies that make engineers lives easier, boost morale and productivity, reduce attrition, and attract new talent. And it's possible to do so while reducing the company's IP risk, not increasing it.
In this talk, we'll look at the general structure of contribution policies, examples in the wild, and tactics to make them suck less.
We'll also look at how to turn these policies into self-service software, preventing the tedious email back and forth between engineering and legal in most cases and making open source contribution a breeze. Presentation by Tobbie Langel, UnLockOpen.
Software development at scale, pandemic lockdown and oss ecosystems, OW2onlin...OW2
Presentation by Jose Manrique, CEO at Bitergia.
Abstract: 2020 has started intense for many countries. It's been just a few months, but the things we have lived make us feel like it's been years. Covid-19 pandemic has hit everywhere and forced many people to work from home. If you were lucky enough to be in one of these modern companies that have adopted digital transformation years ago, would that be a problem? Many people have thought it wasn't, but it has really been. And what about the rest of the software developers involved in companies not ready for remote work at all?
It's been said that nothing has boosted more companies' digital transformation than covid-19. But, are their managers ready for such change? Managing software development at scale is not an easy task, and this pandemic has disrupted the way projects are being developed in many companies.
During this talk, I would like to share lessons learned from open source development at scale that might help companies to adapt to these changes. But more specifically, lessons about how software development analytics help managers to understand collaborative remote work.
Overview of the OpenChain Reference Tooling Work Group, OW2online20, June 2020OW2

Ideas, methods and tools for OSS Compliance assessment, OW2online, June 2020OW2
Presentation by Boris Baldassari, Consultant, Castalia Solutions.
Abstract: While Open Source Software has become mainstream, the understanding of its key principles, from ethics and collaboration to governance and community management, is gaining more interest and attention. There is a comprehensive volume of studies and reports backing up our individual and collective experience, yet we still cannot reliably measure these characteristics, and even less clearly define or assess them.
In an attempt to build up confidence and foster maturity in this area, this talk will look at the various existing models and metrics related to OSS compliance and governance, and build upon them to propose methods and tools for their evaluation and analysis. We will discuss the requirements and essential questions to ask, offer guidelines for implementation and suggest efficient ways to present results.
Intelligent package management with FASTEN, OW2online, June 2020OW2
Presentation by Amir Mir, TUDelft.
As recent events, such as the leftpad incident and the Equifax data breach, have demonstrated, dependencies on networks of external libraries can introduce projects to significant operational and compliance risks as well as difficult to assess security implications. FASTEN introduces fine-grained, method-level, tracking of dependencies on top of existing dependency management networks. In our talk, we will present how FASTEN works on top of the Rust/Cargo and Java/Maven ecosystems.
DECODER, a Smarter Environment for DevOps Teams , OW2online, June 2020OW2

Presentation by Virgile Prevosto, CEA List.
Enabling DevOps for IoT software development, powered by Open Source, OW2onli...OW2
Presentation by Hui Song, Senior Scientist, SINTEF. We would like to share our research journey towards enabling DevOps for IoT applications, and how Open Source makes the journey feasible and fun.
DevOps is widely adopted for developing cloud applications, which supports developers in continuously placing software changes directly to production. As companies are including IoT and Edge devices into their IT infrastructures, supporting DevOps for IoT is a must. However, IoT challenges some fundamental assumptions behind DevOps, such as the homogeneous infrastructure and centralized governance, and therefore, breaking-through research is needed. Funded by H2020, 30 people from 12 partners crossing academia and industry gathered to solve these fundamental challenges, which results in full-stack open source tools for automatic deployment, learning-based operation and security monitoring of IoT applications, and risk management of the development process. The tools are evaluated on industrial use cases in intelligent transportation, smart building, and eHealth.
The mass open source tools and communities around IoT development provides the sound foundation for this design research and the opportunities for the further exploitation of the results. In particular, we are proud of spinning off a start-up to commercialize the risk management services in the open source + SaaS model.
Upcoming Challenges in Artificial Intelligence Research and Development, OW2o...OW2
Artificial Intelligence is now smarter than ever, showing human-like abilities at complex tasks such as images classification or natural language processing.
But despite its recent advances, it's still not a silver bullet. This talk will present a few challenges in the research and development of artificial intelligence that slow down its progress and adoption. In particular, problems around fairness, the training of models and how to share them will be introduced as well as possible Free Software solutions. Presentation by Vincent Lequertier, PhD Student, Lyon UNiverversity.
Cacti and Big Data at Orange France, OW2online, June 2020OW2
We propose a walkthrough of current utilization of Open Source Software in capacity planning for the Orange network infrastructure.
The objective of our project is to have a platform that helps engineers to carefully plan the resources available to them as well as to correlate different incidents within remote parts of the infrastructure.
In order to achieve this we started using Cacti with the Spine collector which worked great, but Orange France is a very large company with many entities, each with its own governance, and so we began to see some limitations.
There was a need to centralize some information from different parts in Orange France as well as to integrate the equipment capacity and load values into BigData Orange.
In order to achieve this we developed the “Puits de donneés” platform completely based on Open Source Software.
The visualization and statistical analysis part is handled by Grafana while the ETL runs on Apache Software Foundation products like NiFi, Zookeeper and Ambari with a storage solution from MariaDB for which we did extensive performance tuning and customization due to the large amounts of data.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

16. Emerginov: Context
Mobile is everywhere IT technologies are generalized
Lack of infrastructure and network connectivy limited and not always stable
African Youth is skilled, trained and imaginative
Litteracy rate is low and there are lots of vernacular languages
We need a Platform to manage simple telco services (SMS based, kiosk)
Based on commodify hardware The platform must be open
everything including call control could be done through web interfaces/API
Use Open source solution to share the dev and production environment
Focus on vocal services Organize codecamps, trainings, hackathlon but
let local people develop for local people

Micro-services correspond to long tail services
Potentially lots of micro services with reduced trafic
Micro services will generate micro-revenues
A developper can create many micro services
To be realistic, the economy of micro services
must be simple and without many
intermediates between the service producer and
the end user
